Hi, my '92 Toyota Marino Sprinter is showing an orange dashboard warning light. It's a car with three small lines coming out of where my exhaust pipes are. Anyone know for sure what this is warning me about!
Can't seem to find my manual. Thanks!

Cat converter maybe!

I'd say it means your car is misfiring and the exhaust is getting too hot.
How is the car running!

Thanks, I'll look it up. The internet is not being specifically helpful at the moment.

means the cat converter blocked but could also b that the sensor is done or disconnected

The car is running well enough. My CD player has been resetting a fair bit while I'm driving recently. What do you mean by misfiring! I'm not really very car savvy. There are two sets of three lines (not parallel) coming out of the back of the car in the warning light. One set on each side.

Is that definitely the right warning light! I googled cat converter warning light and it's not showing the one on my dashboard.

Hahaha ok. so I asked her to pump the brakes and I checked the lights. Initially, we assumed it was my brake lights because it seemed befitting of the image. I have two bulbs on either side, she didn't realise that and thought they were all good because she saw light on both sides.
The right-most brake-light bulb on the left side is out. Thanks so much for your help, I apologise for the confusion and inconvenience.

usually that light would come on when you apply the brakes rather than stay on all the time.
